529. Under business

Spiders found a new turf.
The looks of the web seem to indicate not a
jorou-gumo but a
kogane-gumo.
Considering this location, I did not dare to come closer to check.

The Selene tonight.
Though the Venus is shining just below, this is for the moon only.

527. Donguri season
Konara's
donguri at a nearby square.
They just grew up and came to the ground, also in the years of the radioactivity turmoil and of the pandemic scare. So it is, this year.

526. Matumusi-temple
=2021-09-07 tue canon ps sx40hs=
Matumusi-temple at Inzai today.
The temple was engulfed by the big chorus of
tuku-tuku-bousi. The summer is going to end.
525. Swans in the dead of summer

Found swans in the intense heat. At the Sin river below the route 16, noon time today.
Looks like those did not go to Siberia in the spring. They are found also in the Inba marsh. Deracine or the crooked. This, however, might be the behavior just following the nature providence.

If we consider, for instance, the explosion of the Tunguska meteoroid occurred about 100 years ago, said to correspond to 5 mega ton of TNT explosives, some kind of catastrophy could annihilate the group which migrated to the north. In such cases, if those did not migrate remain in the rivers and lakes here and there, they will certainly contribute to the species preservation.

524. Kabuto-musi again

Found a female
kabuto-musi at the garden under a heavy rainfall this morning. Already dead.
During the first years we moved to this place, they were ubiquitous. Thereafter, we had not seen them so much.
=2021-08-13 fri canon ixy digi55=
In recent years, however, it has become common to see them again. This is probably becasuse of the fact that trees in the nearby squares and each home have grown up big.
I put her on a wood block which was for the male
kabuto-musi I had kept until very recently, praying for her eternal rest.
523. Semi, semi, semi
Abura-zemi at a nearby square.
Getting closer to the tree, most of them sprang out at once.

522. Tassha de na!

A
kabuto musi found at an adjacent square. He has been kept in a jar for about two weeks.
As the o-bon is coming*, I let him go at the apricot tree in the evening when he becomes active.
=2021-08-06 fri canon ps sx40hs=
In period plays, at a departing scene, we hear the word,
tassha de kurase meaning literally, "fare well". The same is my word to him.
* In Buddhism, the
sesshou (useless killing) is strictly prohibited. Especially during the bon or o-bon period when the deceaseds' souls are believed to come back and stay home, the
sesshou of even a small bug is abhorred here.
521. Birdhouse storage

The
sijyukara's birdhouse enabled the chicks to grow up this year too is to be stored indoors to protect the roofs during the summer.
The stuff like a rectangular thick plate is the nest made of moss and dog's fur.
